Television Broadcasting Services Bridgeport and Stamford, Connecticut

At the request of Connecticut Public Broadcasting, Inc. (CPBI), licensee of television station WEDW channel *49, Bridgeport, Connecticut (WEDW), the Commission has before it a contested Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to change WEDW's community of license from Bridgeport to Stamford, Connecticut. The Commission believes that the proposal is a preferential arrangement of allotments because it will provide Stamford, the third largest city in Connecticut, with its first broadcast television service. The Commission also reiterates that the grant of the proposal will not deprive Bridgeport of its sole broadcast television service because it will continue to be served by full power television station WZME, Bridgeport, Connecticut, licensed to NRJ TV NY License Co., LLC (NRJ).
